Does it work with a non waves VST3 plugin?

Noel Borthwick [Cakewalk]
As far as I can see we are following the VST3 specification and passing on the silence flags to the plugins.
I will follow up with Waves engineering and see if I can get some feedback from them. Thanks.

 
VST3 suspending on Cubase 7 works fine with Waves VST3 instances
Can't see the problem from Waves side

That doesn't answer my question though...
Do you have the same issue with other non waves vst3 plugs with Sonar as well?
Cheers...

Hi
I have 15 vst3 plugs by PluginAlliance. 
VST3 suspending is not working .

I got curious, so I tested out two scenarios.
 
One had several instances of iZotope Iris, which is a fairly CPU-heavy VST3 synth. The other had several instances of Kontakt, a VST2 synth. All were fed the same dense MIDI tracks.
 
With the Iris project, the CPU drain increased considerably when it was playing, and went down when it was not. With the Kontakt project, the CPU power stayed constant regardless of whether the instances of Kontakt were playing or not.
 
This would seem to indicate that Sonar can suspend power with at least one VST3 soft synth.

Hi.
My topic is about VST3 plugs, but not about VSTi3

VSTi3 can suspend CPU power when VOICE finished it's "work" 

I sense a communication breakdown. It's really the same thing.

Yes, VSTi3 is also a plug-in. I'll try it with some VST3 FX later today and see what happens...but i don't have many of them for testing.

It is not the same thing.
Please check VST3.6 SDK.
VST3 can suspend only when there is "silence" flag in the input.
Please find for me any  VSTi3 plug with audio inputs!
